    KT LCD3:L1-L3 parameters?

    Not that I want to change them, but I got there accidentally by pressing up/down together for two seconds at the C14 parameter, thinking that would exit the C menu. There are three L1,L2, L3. I got out of there by powering down the battery. I don't think I changed them, Hope not anyway. As I...

    Bafang bbs01b how waterproof is it..

    I recall reading a complaint from a bbs owner who would use a hose to spray the mud off his bafang motor and the motor quit later. Water got into the circuit board traces somehow, Good idea to cover the display with a plastic bag in the rain. I don't think it's that water resistant.

    How to disassemble connectors?

    I might get this one if I were in the UK, The one I bought isn't on your amazon. I swap these things enough that I finally bought one. I would solder the pins, and the wires would fall out before the solder cooled. Maybe one of those little holders using alligator clips would have worked...

    How to disassemble connectors?

    I've always found it very difficult to get the pins out of a female JST connector. Sometimes I succeed. I'll do it mainly to switch pins around so at most two pins. The male connectors, if you can squeeze the barb with a needle nose pliers, usually the pin comes out. I din't watch the video. I...

    Lightweight and stealthy to leave at train station

    I've been using hoverboard batteries to run my smaller ebikes. Something like this. One will last me 12-14 miles for sure at 12 mph. There's always the risk of fire, etc with cheap batteries. Mine were only about 28£ though. I keep them in a fireproof place, because I worry too much...

    Looking for a folder

    Sounds like a derailleur that was bent in shipping. If you can install a hubmotor, you should be able to fix that.

    Help me source this part

    That's the reverse of the Julet 9 pin motor connectors, which have the male pins in a male plug. In OP's situation, they put the male pins in a female receptacle. There's a lot of good features about the 9 pin motor connectors. Compact. Fit thru a 12mm axle nut. But not for high currents...

    Lightweight Dahon conversion

    The Boardwalk is listed as a steel frame, so if it is 130mm dropout, a little spreading might be possible. I put the Q100H rear hub motor on our folders. I run them on a 36V 4AH 10S-2P and a 36V9AH 10S-3P battery, either will fit in a bag under the seat. The 4AH battery will cover 15-18 miles...

    KT-LCD1 to KT-LCD3

    I didn't really look at the wiring diagram details, but TX to RX and B+ to Start is how the shorting plugs go. The KT controllers may send a little query on power up and if the TX is looped back to Rx, that could tell it to enter the default no LCD mode mode. Can't get a short plug to work...

    Ebike controller

    I occasionally put packs with different capacities in series, knowing that range will be determined by the smaller AH pack. No worries for unbalance as they get re-charged separately. This for 12V and 36V packs to get 48V.

    KT-LCD1 to KT-LCD3

    I have a flat JST plug, and it came with the controller, but it's the same idea with 1-5 and 2-3. Yes, both throttle and PAS were active.

    KT-LCD1 to KT-LCD3

    A little off topic, but I tested a shorting plug in place of the LCD3 on the PSWpower 11A/22A KT-sinewave controller. I mounted an external speedometer that takes the exact wheel circumference. It seemed to default to a level that felt like PAS2 or PAS3. Easy pedaling got my 40 pound bike (500W...

    What to do with integrated brake and gear levers?

    I like the Shimano XL-310 quickfire trigger shifters. They fit well with the cheapo e-brake levers, throttle, and 3 button unit. I don't miss the combo brake/twist_shifters on my my first conversion at all. In the US, one shifter was about $17USD. Now if I had a bike with nice hydraulic...

    Brake Cut Off - do I need it?

    A lot depends on your pedal assist behavior. My cadence sensors need a brake cutoff, especially doing a slow turn-around. Unless I turn off pedal assist before the maneuver or have a brake cutoff, my motor starts up. Not good in a crowd. I've also had a throttle fault. It was just my Q100 on a...

    KT-LCD1 to KT-LCD3

    Sounds like you must have a generic LCD3 like everyone else has. Yours has a C5 setting of 10 for max current? I didn't think they can otherwise limit the current. I have LCD3's on small/big motors. WIth 52V, I could get 900 Watts into a Q100 motor with a 20A controller. Over 1200W on 52V into a...

    KT-LCD1 to KT-LCD3

    I have KT LCD3 and it sets the max speed from the first user setting screen that is always available. It does work. I have on bike limited to 16 mph and it shuts off there. I'm thinking that if you change to an LCD-3, you should see the same result. I've used the LCD3 on four or five KT...

    KT-LCD3 Info 3 Error

    A lot of the time, it's a connector that came apart. Q128's come with a short cable with a molded 9 male pin plug. Make sure it's securely inserted into the matching round cable that goes to the controller. Sometimes they're so tight that you think there's contact, but it's tenuous. Then that...

    Build Q128c motor

    It's not a dark art, but some writers have embellished it. It's just a procedure. Takes an evening to learn, and then you will have true wheels for the rest of your life, as long as your eyes and fingers hold out., Manager was right to do it on the bike. A lot can go wrong when someone undoes a...

    Sine Wave Controller help.

    The LCD3 would throw up an error code 03 and the motor wouldn't spin if it had no hall sensors. I was just wondering if your speed happened to be 6X faster, as it's related to the 6 you're using for the pules/rev on the speed sensor. Since it is not, then P2 is correct. By the way, I recently...

    Sine Wave Controller help.

    If those worked with the square wave controller, I would think they must be OK. You're getting the correct speed displayed?
